Overview
EN 12058:2015 - published by CEN - defines requirements for flat natural stone slabs for floors and stairs (including skirtings) used for internal (including enclosed public transport premises) and external applications. The standard covers geometrical, physical and mechanical characteristics, testing, sampling and factory production control needed to demonstrate product performance. It does not cover mineral aggregates, artificial agglomerated stone materials or installation work.
Key topics and technical requirements
EN 12058:2015 addresses the full product specification and conformity framework for natural stone slabs, including:
- Geometrical characteristics: dimensions, nominal thickness tolerances, flatness, length/width and special shapes (measurements per EN 13373).
- Surface finishes: requirements for commercially supplied finishes used in flooring and stairs.
- Physical and mechanical characteristics: requirements and test methods for flexural strength, bond/adhesion, water absorption (atmospheric and capillarity), apparent density and porosity, thermal shock resistance, durability and ageing.
- Safety and performance properties: reaction to fire classification, slip resistance and skid resistance, tactility, direct airborne sound insulation, thermal conductivity and water vapour permeability.
- Hygiene and environment: release of dangerous substances declarations where applicable.
- Testing, sampling and assessment: detailed sampling principles (including sampling at point of delivery), laboratory testing, type testing and criteria for compliance.
- Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP): requirements for Type Testing and Factory Production Control (FPC) and instructions for Declaration of Performance (DoP) and CE marking (see Annex ZA).
Note: EN 12058:2015 supersedes EN 12058:2004 and introduces additional requirements (e.g., thermal conductivity, sound insulation, release of dangerous substances) and AVCP rules.
Practical applications and users
EN 12058:2015 is used to specify and verify performance of natural stone slabs in built environments. Typical users include:
- Manufacturers and fabricators - to design, test and document product characteristics and implement Factory Production Control.
- Architects and specifiers - to select appropriate stone slabs meeting safety, durability and aesthetic requirements.
- Contractors and installers - for procurement criteria and acceptance testing (note: installation practice itself is outside the standard).
- Testing laboratories and certification bodies - for sampling, type testing and AVCP procedures.
- Building owners and facility managers - to assess slip resistance, fire reaction and durability for internal/external floors and stairs.
Practical uses: specifying compliant slabs for public transport hubs, commercial buildings, stair treads and risers, external paving and skirtings where documented performance (durability, slip resistance, thermal and acoustic properties) is required.

La norme SIST EN 12058:2015 traite des produits en pierre naturelle, spécifiquement des dalles utilisées pour les sols et les escaliers. Son champ d'application est crucial car il établit des exigences claires pour les dalles en pierre naturelle plates, adaptées pour des utilisations intérieures (y compris dans les locaux de transport public clos) et/ou extérieures. Cela garantit la sécurité et la durabilité des surfaces piétonnes. Parmi les points forts de cette norme, on peut noter son approche détaillée qui contribue à l'harmonisation des pratiques au sein de l'Union Européenne. Grâce à la normalisation des exigences, elle facilite le commerce transfrontalier en assurant que les produits répondent à des critères de qualité uniformes. Cela est particulièrement pertinent dans le secteur de la construction, où les matériaux doivent non seulement être esthétiques mais aussi fiables sur le long terme. En outre, la norme précise qu'elle ne couvre pas les agrégats minéraux ni les matériaux composites agglomérés, ni les aspects liés à l'installation, ce qui permet de se concentrer sur les caractéristiques intrinsèques des dalles en pierre naturelle. Cette délimitation est essentielle pour les professionnels du secteur qui recherchent des orientations spécifiques sur les produits sans être distraits par les procédures d’installation. La pertinence de la norme SIST EN 12058:2015 se manifeste dans le contexte actuel où la durabilité et la sécurité des matériaux de construction sont des préoccupations croissantes. En définissant des exigences précises pour les dalles en pierre naturelle, elle assure non seulement la qualité des matériaux utilisés dans les projets de construction, mais aussi la satisfaction des utilisateurs finaux, qui bénéficient de surfaces durablement fiables et esthétiquement plaisantes.
The EN 12058:2015 standard provides a comprehensive framework for the requirements pertaining to flat natural stone slabs, specifically focusing on their application as paving units for internal and external environments, including floors, stairs, and skirtings. The scope of this standard is well-defined, emphasizing that it is solely applicable to natural stone products, thereby making it clear that artificial agglomerated stones and mineral aggregates fall outside its purview. One of the key strengths of the EN 12058:2015 standard lies in its specific focus on the quality and safety requirements of natural stone slabs. This delineation ensures that manufacturers comply with rigorous standards that are essential for maintaining durability and aesthetic value in construction applications. By establishing clear criteria, this standard enhances consistency in product quality, which is crucial for builders and architects who rely on natural stone for various projects. The relevance of the EN 12058:2015 standard is underscored by its applicability to both internal and external flooring and stair solutions, catering to a wide range of architectural and design needs. Its inclusion of enclosed public transport premises further exemplifies its broad usability in public infrastructures, highlighting its significance in promoting safety and usability in high-traffic areas. In summary, the EN 12058:2015 standard represents a vital resource for stakeholders involved in the natural stone industry, delivering clear guidelines and requirements. The standard's focused scope, emphasis on quality, and applicability across various environments underscore its importance in ensuring the proper use and longevity of natural stone slabs in the construction field.
EN 12058:2015は、自然石製品の基準として、内部および外部の床や階段に使用される平らな自然石スラブに関する要求事項を明確に定めています。この基準は、公共交通機関を含む屋内の区画や外部の舗装ユニットに焦点を当てており、スカーティングも対象としています。 この基準の大きな強みは、自然石スラブの使用に関する一貫した品質基準を提供することで、施工業者や最終ユーザーが製品の特性を理解しやすくする点です。例えば、滑りにくさ、耐圧性、耐久性の基準が明示されているため、様々な使用条件において安心して選定できる材料としての信頼性が高まります。 さらに、EN 12058:2015は、スラブの設計や材料特性に加え、注意が必要な点を具体的に示しているため、施工時のエラーを減少させる助けとなります。また、人工的アグロメリテや鉱物骨材は対象外であることも明確にされているため、特定の用途において適切な材料選定がしやすくなっています。 このように、EN 12058:2015は自然石スラブの選定や使用において非常に重要な指針となり、業界における標準化の促進にも寄与しています。そのため、設計者や施工業者、そして製品使用者にとって欠かせない基準と言えるでしょう。
Die Norm EN 12058:2015 legt spezifische Anforderungen für flache Natursteinplatten fest, die als Belagselemente für Innenräume (einschließlich geschlossener öffentlicher Verkehrsräume) sowie für den Außenbereich in Böden und Treppen verwendet werden. Diese europäische Norm ist von großer Bedeutung, da sie sicherstellt, dass Natursteinprodukte hinsichtlich ihrer Nutzung als Bodenbeläge und Treppenstufen standardisierte Qualitätskriterien erfüllen. Ein wesentlicher Stärke der Norm liegt in ihrer umfassenden Definition der Anforderungen an die Platten, welche die Eigenschaften wie mechanische Festigkeit, rutschfeste Oberflächen und die Widerstandsfähigkeit gegenüber Umwelteinflüssen berücksichtigen. Dies ist besonders relevant für Architekten, Bauleiter und die Industrie, die Materialien auswählen müssen, die sowohl ästhetische als auch funktionale Anforderungen erfüllen. Zudem stellt diese Norm sicher, dass die Verwendung von Naturstein nicht nur schön, sondern auch praktischen Gebrauch bleibt. Besonders in stark frequentierten Bereichen, wo Sicherheit und Langlebigkeit entscheidend sind, bietet die EN 12058:2015 einen wertvollen Leitfaden. Die Norm schränkte sich bewusst aus, Mineralaggregate und künstliches agglomeriertes Steinmaterial zu behandeln, was ihre Fokussierung auf echte Natursteinprodukte unterstreicht. Dies kann für Produzenten und Verbraucher von Vorteil sein, da es ein klares Kriterium für die Qualität und die zu erwartenden Eigenschaften der verwendeten Materialien festlegt. Insgesamt ist die EN 12058:2015 eine essentielle Norm für alle Beteiligten in der Natursteinbranche, da sie die Anforderungen an Natursteinprodukte für Böden und Treppen klar definiert und so zur Sicherheit, Qualität und Effizienz bei der Verwendung von Natursteinen beiträgt.
